Been reading a few American previews over the past few days, and when discussing Valanciunas, I find that most writers are over-valuing the Olympics to make their assessments, failing to acknowledge how little minutes Jonas received, and how well he played in the 12 months leading up to London.

I think it's fair to assume that most of these bloggers/writers had very little exposure to Jonas prior to the Oympics.

Because of this, I could see Jonas surprising a lot of people (south of the border) this upcoming season.
